[IMG]The last piece of track went in on Sunday. Media day is scheduled for May 20th with it opening memorial weekend. You can follow the construction on sfneonline.com. Both trains are on the track and testing will be starting when they finish painting the structure. Here's a cool night shot of the hurricane logo which was put on yesterday.

Great - atleast ther eis not too much delay. Better than those infidels at Magic Mountain who have pushed Twisted Colossus to Summer of 2015. I guess the lack of water in California will be the scapegoat.

TC is longer than WC so naturally it will take a bit longer. Yes they had good weather to build TC but the park wasn't closed over winter so maybe that slowed down construction. It annoys me though that the longest steel in America was the first one of the new coasters in 2015 to open up.

I'm not surprised at all that Thunderbird & Fury 325 are up and running before the new RMC coasters. When you consider the B&Ms come in pieces that are then assembled like a puzzle, as opposed to the RMCs arriving as a pile of lumber which is then built into a coaster, I would definitely expect the steel to go up quicker. Plus keep in mind B&M had however long to fabricate track pieces before on-site construction started...
